(2) Develop and implement policies and procedures specific to the care and needs of patients receiving the long-term services;
(3) Use hospital policies and procedures which define standards of practice; and
(4) Provide an activities program designed to encourage each patient to maintain or attain normal activity and an optimal level of independence.
